2025 Preakness Stakes Predictions: Heart of Honor

Post Position: 4
Odds: 12-1

Heart of Honor has never finished worse than second in any of the four races he’s run. However, with all of his races coming in Dubai, it’s hard to know exactly what this horse will do on American soil. In his last race, he narrowly lost to Admire Daytona, a Kentucky Derby horse. However, that’s hardly a good look for Heart of Honor, as Admire Daytona finished last in the Run for the Roses.

While jockey Saffie Osborne has had a lot of success on Heart of Honor, her inexperience, especially in such a big race, could be the difference between this horse finishing third or fourth and finishing well behind the pack.
